<p>You can now directly link to the source of a markdown file on GitHub by adding <code>?plain=1</code> to the URL, such as <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L19-L28">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L19-L28</a>.  I have wanted that for a long time.</p>

<p>Ah, nice. I use the raw links all the time, but it's nice to include the rest of the UI to let someone navigate.</p>
